R.I.P. Socks
On 9th May our neighbour asked if we were missing a cat because she saw one lying dead in the lane. It was Socks, our 9 year old tabby. I’m pretty cut up about this because he was a truly … Continue reading
Meet Caramel
To replace cream we bought Caramel. He’s a lovely little thing and quite a saving on power since we put a generator on the wheel 😉
R.I.P. Cream
Today our “old man” hamster passed away in his sleep. He was lively up to the end, despite being 2½ years old. Longest lived hamster we’ve had so far.

R.I.P. Toffee.
Almost 2 years old and with completely knackered eyes being the symptom of something more serious, Toffee, was put to rest last Monday. Although it’s always sad to lose a pet, he was a good age for a hamster.

Meet Tigger
Last weekend we had a new arrival. Here is Tigger, the mad ginger kitteh. I wonder if he’ll make it to icanhascheezburger before he calms down 😉
Meet Petal.
To compensate for the loss of Chocolate, we took Courtney to the pet shop and met Petal, an albino Syrian. Although nervous, she’s he’s already easy to handle and is set to become another well loved pet 🙂 Yes, we’ve … Continue reading
